[MiniProject] Convert Vietnamese unicode strings to unaccented strings

Recently, I embarked on an exciting Arduino project where I needed to convert Vietnamese Unicode strings into their unaccented equivalents. The goal was simple, but I quickly ran into a problem: the conversion process wasn’t working as expected. Characters like "Độc lập tự do" were returning as a string of question marks!

I reached out for help and discovered that the issue was rooted in the way UTF-8 encoding was handled in my code. With some guidance, I learned how to properly decode UTF-8 characters into their Unicode equivalents before converting them. By breaking down the string into manageable arrays and thoroughly testing each case, I finally got the correct output: "Doc lap tu do."

This project taught me the importance of understanding encoding and the value of community support in problem-solving. Now, my Arduino project runs smoothly, converting Vietnamese text as intended!

The serial Monitor output:

Note:
This project comes easy if you have already had some experience with Arduino, LCD 16x2 shield, C/C++ programming, Unicode encoding, testing techniques, and AI literacy. If you don't know those things, don't be afraid, just google it or contact me. I am happy to help you with one week's feedback.

[STM32] How to configure Timer 1, Channel 3 is PWM 1kHz, duty cycle 20% to control BLDC motor

To configure Timer1 for a 1 kHz PWM signal with a 20% duty cycle on an STM32H7S3L8 microcontroller, follow these steps: 1. Understand the Timer Parameters PWM Frequency : 1 kHz → Period = 1 ms. Duty Cycle : 20% → ON time = 0.2 ms. The timer’s clock frequency is derived from the APB clock (e.g., TIMCLK). Let’s assume you know the APB clock frequency. The Timer prescaler and auto-reload register (ARR) define the PWM frequency. 2. Compute Timer Parameters Formula: PWM Frequency = Timer Clock (Prescaler + 1) * (ARR + 1) \text{PWM Frequency} = \frac{\text{Timer Clock}}{\text{(Prescaler + 1) * (ARR + 1)}} PWM Frequency = (Prescaler + 1) * (ARR + 1) Timer Clock For 1 kHz PWM: A R R = Timer Clock PWM Frequency ∗ ( Prescaler + 1) − 1 ARR = \frac{\text{Timer Clock}}{\text{PWM Frequency} * (\text{Prescaler + 1)}} - 1 A RR = PWM Frequency ∗ ( Prescaler + 1) Timer Clock −...

[MyThought] Software design scalability, how to navigate conflicting perspectives

Your team disagrees on software design scalability. How do you navigate conflicting perspectives? First of all, disagreements usually come from different viewpoints and personal biases. When people look at a problem, they each see it from their own perspective. To make sure everyone’s on the same page, it helps to list out the main issues before jumping into brainstorming. Remember, how scalable the software is will depend on both the project’s budget and timeline. Secondly, based on the project's budget and timeline, team members are encouraged to share their thoughts freely during the brainstorming session. Afterward, we'll gather the most outstanding ideas and compile them into a table of options. We'll then weigh these options based on several criteria, and finally, we'll select the top-ranked one. Moreover, I work in the field of embedded software. Whenever we design a new product, we must consider both the hardware and software aspects. Hardware is always the fir...
